We’re a hardworking, homegrown group that depends on people like you. Over the past 34 years, we’ve protected over 500 parcels of land and more than 52,000 acres. Thousands of people have participated in these accomplishments and in the ongoing stewardship of conserved properties. It takes all of us, working together, to choose a vibrant, resilient and sustainable future for the Upper Valley — and to make it happen.
Indigenous People have cared for this land for centuries. The land that the Upper Valley Land Trust owns, conserves, and works on, and the land on which we all live, was first stewarded and cared for by indigenous people of the Abenaki Nation, a tribe of the Wabanaki Confederacy. These are the traditional, ancestral, unceded lands of Abenaki people, taken from them by violence. Current day non-indigenous people have benefited from that violence, and that is a history that we are reckoning with.
Indigenous People are not gone, they live here and are a part of the past, present, and future of our land and our communities. We know this acknowledgement is a small step in a bigger process of greater awareness of Native sovereignty and cultural rights. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the Abenaki people, past and present.

“As I work through my undergraduate degree, I increasingly feel like the future of conservation is through community and a sense of responsibility towards the land we live on as well as the people and organisms with whom we share it.”

Patchen Miller Intern Karina Ricker spent her summer working at our two food pantry gardens, growing food for those who are food insecure. Karina wrote about her experience this summer in our most recent blog post. It's well worth the read, the link is in our bio!
Happy to announce that we have protected two more properties in Newport New Hampshire! Carruth North and South are both mainly forested properties within the watershed of the sugar river. Protecting these pieces of land will preserve open space and productive forestland for the future, as well as protect habitat and water quality of ground and surface water. Thank you to Alan and Sally Carruth and Joan and Phyllis Carruth for your conservation minded planning for the future of these properties!
